Marlboro cigarettes online

The history of cigarettes "Marlboro", which are now made in St. Petersburg, and, sadly, are available to each student. They appeared in 1924 in America as the ladies ("soft as May Day") and issued with a mouthpiece ivory or red - that was not visible traces of lipstick. In 1954 he established a production of "Marlboro" and stronger, and that cigarettes like men, but released them from the filter and - for the first time in the history of cigarette cases - packs a solid opening to the top, so that men could wear them in the pockets of jeans. In 1964 the country was invented "Marlboro", and by 1975 they became the best selling cigarettes in the world. Official appearance of cigarettes "Marlboro" in Russia refers to 1990. At the end of this beautiful story, I note that Wayne McLaren, the same "cowboy" with a cigarette in his mouth, which became a symbol of "Marlboro", died of lung cancer in 52 years.

But back to the Soviet Union of the 1970s.

Major Leningrad factory continued to operate for decades in producing their products. Sons smoked "White Sea" also because he smoked their fathers and grandfathers. True, not all the sons ... daughters prefer the cigarette.

Tobacco factories continued to evolve. In 1970-1986 years he factory. Uritskogo called Leningrad industrial association of the tobacco industry to them. Uritsky. In the early 1990s, the factory suffered third birth. It was acquired by American holding PJR Nabisco, then gone over to the Japanese company Japan Tobacco Inc. (Which is Headquartered in Geneva and has offices in over 40 countries). The owner of the factory became the company JT International. The total investment in the company's St. Petersburg factory "Petro" (formerly named. Uritskogo) totaled $ 400 million.

In 2003, "Peter I» added "light" version - "Peter I Mild flavor," "Peter I light taste," "Peter I Super-light taste." Tsar Peter, founder of the tobacco business in Russia, did not expect, that's how things will turn that his name will be called the cigarette factory ...

In 2001, the factory "Petro" from the Middle Avenue Vasilevsky Island was transferred to the Peterhof highway, 71. Having visited the factory in April 2005, the author of this book with pleasure and surprise at cheap dinner in an excellent working the dining room, a cigarette is not tried, so to say anything about them can not, moreover, that a glass of juice would not exchange even a pack of cigarettes. Or even tobacco Zhukov.

In 2003 JSC "Petro" has been the largest taxpayer in our city. Heavy industry here, "smokes."

Let's go back to the factory to them. Clara Zetkin. In 1991 the factory was transformed into joint-stock company (JSC) from 1992 - JSC "Nevo Tabak". For more than 130 years, it is at the same address - Klin Ave, corner Bronitskaya street. This is one of the largest Russian tobacco companies without foreign capital. Every year, "Nevo Tabak" produces over 12 billion cigarettes - AN Shaposhnikov, founder of the production volumes are not even dream of. Now the company produces about 20 brands of cigarettes in the name of which sounds "Petersburg-North" theme. This Cigarette "Leningrad", "Peter the Great," "The Emperor", "Aurora", "Northern Palmira", "Prima Nebo" and others, as well as your favorite cigarette of the Russian North - "Arctic". On the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg in the firm released a brand of cigarettes, "1703" and bought his own equipment filtrodelatelnoe.

In 1994, the leasable area of ​​one of St. Petersburg companies founded the first factory of "Rhillip Morris» in North-West - "Philip Morris Neva." The second - "Philip Morris Izhora", the most powerful of the Russian factories «Phillip Morris», was built in the Leningrad Region "from scratch" and began work in February 2000. It is the largest investment project in Eastern Europe. In early 2002, «Phillip Morris» stopped production on "Philip Morris Neva", the company dismantled the equipment and all staff have moved on, "Philip Morris Izhora."

In 2003 the company «Phillip Morris» announced its intention to invest in expanding production 240 million dollars. In 2005, to be released 70 billion cigarettes.

Until that time, tobacco streak cigarette factory purchased abroad.

Other old St. Petersburg tobacco production has long been abolished and forgotten. Since the late 1990s, more polluting. True, thanks for the tobacco companies that no one has said.

Almost the only cigarettes, then coming on the market, was the "Space". It is worth recalling how many countries were involved in the manufacture of these cigarettes is very low quality. The "Cosmos" was the Austrian filter rim Austrian, French cigarette paper, Bulgarian or Indian tobacco, packaging boards Finnish, English and German film cellophane ribbon breaking.

The peak of enthusiasm for space theme cigarettes became "Soyuz-Apollo" who were born after the pilot flying the American "Apollo" and Soviet "Union" in July 1975 (although they appeared in the USSR, but not in the U.S.). Cigarette company released "Phillir Morris» with the participation of the tobacco industry in the USSR. Then in five cities in the former Soviet Union: Moscow, Leningrad, Kishinev, Baku and Sukhumi - established licensed production of "Marlboro". Truly - a space has no boundaries!
